María Belén Rueda García-Porrero (born 16 March 1965) is a Spanish actress.

She became popular in Spain for her performances in the Globomedia-produced television series Periodistas (1998–2002) and, most notably, Los Serrano (2003–2007).

While she was a student, she made her television debut as a steward in the night-show VIP Noche originally hosted by José Luis Moreno [es], eventually becoming the co-host together with Emilio Aragón.

[3] While she had been already cast as the photographer Clara Nadal for the series Periodistas she was called to briefly play the same character of Clara Nadal in the popular dramedy Médico de familia (also produced by Globomedia) as a sort of emergency casting to cover a leave on absence,[4] and thus the latter marked her debut as a television actress in 1997 (and both fictions became connected in the same fictional universe).

[10] Rueda played the lead role of the Spanish thriller Julia's Eyes,[11] which was produced by Guillermo del Toro.
